<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 937864, member: 5833"]I think we're saying the same thing, maybe just quibbling over the word 'carved'. They would not have been made by a craftsman whittling away at a solid block of resin (& I have no doubt they are resin). The resin was shaped in a mold. When hardened, someone may have taken a graver & 'enhanced' some grooves, etc., so it has some tool marks & gives impression of hand carved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
